Engineered by Rieju for the scooter motorcycle segment, the 2023 Rieju E-City 3 features a purpose-built air-cooled electric configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 4 HP (2.9 kW) while maximum torque reaches 147 Nm (108.4 lb-ft) at 163 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a automatic gearbox.
On the scales, the E-City 3 measures 90 kg (198 lbs) dry. Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 780 mm (30.7 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,308 mm (51.5 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry.
